Pros
Pro Easy to understand
Pro Backward-compatible
Pro Dungeons & Dragons rules revised
It's heavily based on D&D 3.5, to the point that some players call it D&D 3.75.

Con Not suitable for first time
The rules are dense, complicated, and difficult for new players to master. Pathfinder is a great game, but a terrible choice for beginners.
